What is the Forum?

Established in 2021, the Forum is an annual meeting of up to 48 leading In-House Counsel and lawyers from the Defense bar who specialize in litigating consumer packaged goods and food mislabeling matters.  Participants are personally selected and invited by the Steering Committee based on experience and specialization in these areas.

​The Forum does not feature traditional speakers and audio-visual presentations; instead, it focuses on the participation of all those in attendance. This discussion based meeting will bring together top litigators from across the country to examine and debate current issues as identified by the Steering Committee.

​If you are interested in attending the 2025 Forum, please contact Lisa Nichols.

"The Forum is one-of a kind and leaves all other conferences in the dust."
